Please tell me a little bit about yourself or your situation.
I am 28 years old, I had neuroblastoma when I was 1.. My mother noticed that I stopped walking and crawling. The doctors finally realized that I had a tumor that affected my spine which was causing paralysis. I was very lucky to survive since I had stage 3... I had to have two spinal tumor removals, chemo and radiation. It took 2 years of treatment before my cancer went into remission. Thankfully after removing the tumors I was able to walk and crawl again.
I have had late-term affects from having cancer as a child. I developed kyphoscoliosis (curvature of the spine), My teeth didn't grow properly (missing some, and coming in half way).
